msc 18,543 Posted August 5, 2017 Ah, in tribute to the headliner: I remember Hywel Bennett best from the Endless Night adaptation from 72. Agatha Christie wasn't a fan, and I couldn't understand why as I was watching it: it was keeping fairly faithful to the book. (Especially compared to recent ITV offerings...) Then, suddenly*, with 10 mins left, Britt Ekland takes all her clothes off! Poor old Hywel Bennett was somewhat overshadowed. *As suddenly as you can get for 70s film with Britt Ekland in it... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,619 Posted August 10, 2017 Hmm, taking a look at my team, there's 4 people still living on there I'd give a 50%+ chance of dying this year: Bracknell, Downie, King Michael, and Stefan Karl. That would put me at 150 points and 13/20 picks dead. Hopefully still in the top 10, likely not still in the top 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
